The headline says "bilingual". Neither paper uses that term.
it would have to be able to understand one language first.
It is not clear if this is true. Translation accuracy has greatly improved, and is continuing to improve, despite the NNs having no understanding of how the languages map to reality. They only learn how the languages map to each other.
"neural" nets will not cut it and they are really old
What does age have to do with anything? Biological neural nets have been around for 600 million years.
Microsoft's dominance in the PC market was never really dislodged.
Microsoft has gone from 97% to 89% of the desktop market. That is still dominance, but the "non-Microsoft" portion has more than tripled since its nadir. But more importantly, "the desktop" doesn't matter as much anymore. Most people use their phone or a tablet as their main computing device.
It is easier than ever to avoid Microsoft products. The only use I have for Windows is filing my S-corp taxes one per year, and I use a VM on my Macbook for that.
"Jap" is just short for Japanese. It is no different than saying "Brit" or "Yank". If you give Japanese people a form that has a field for "nationality", instead of writing out "ni-hon-jin", they will usually write a single kanji that basically means "Jap" (but in other contexts can mean "day" or "sun"). If they abbreviate their nationality down to one syllable, then why can't we?
Is no root password a requirement for this "bug"? My Macbook has a root password. I followed the directions in the summary, and it did NOT give me root. I tried several variations. Nothing worked. So as far as I can see there is no bug.
Nearly all classified information is mundane garbage that nobody cares about. This "red disk" is a good example. TFA says it contains "sensitive information" but fails to list a single item of any significance.
I had a "secret" clearance for decades, and I would regularly see classified reports about stuff that had been in the newspaper months before. Even more ridiculous, some of these reports were reporting that a newspaper had reported on a report that was not supposed to be reported on.
More than 5 million Americans have security clearances. There are huge warehouses and data centers filled with "secrets". Meanwhile, our national debt is $20.5 trillion dollars.
Bitcoins can be divided. So as the value continues to increase, we can use bit-dimes, bit-pennies, and even smaller units. It will be like the Zimbabwean dollar, but in reverse.
I would take the side they don't need a warrant for the cell tower triangulation data if the phone company is willing to part with it.
If no warrant is required, then how is the phone company supposed to know it is a legitimate crime investigation, and not some cop trying to track down the guy dating his ex-girlfriend?
Many people assume that getting a warrant is an undue burden. Most jurisdictions have judges available or on-call 24/7, and a judge can review and issue a warrant in a few minutes if it is clearly justified.
I've been in the vicinity of a strip club in Rantoul, Illinois
Let's say there was stripper murdered behind the strip club. So the police check the phone data, and 1000 people were in the vicinity. Then a few days later there is another murder behind another strip club, and another 1000 people were in the vicinity at the time of the murder... but there is this one guy that was at both places. The police might want to talk to that guy.
Requiring the police to get a warrant may slow this process down by several minutes.
If police want information from a goddamn phone, they need to get a goddamned warrant.
This isn't about getting information from a phone. It is about getting information collected by a cell tower. They want info from the phone company, not from you.
Google should downlist American media too, because they also "inject themselves into US politics". In fact, even some private citizens have been caught expressing opinions on politics, and attempting to sway the votes of their friends and neighbors. Google needs to put a stop to that. We can't just have people going around saying whatever they want. Thank God that we have the corporate elite to protect us and tell us what to think.
those ads do nothing but encourage kids to smoke as a middle finger to the establishment its a proven fact.
Indeed. Advertisements emphasizing the health hazards of smoking don't work well. But other ads do work well. Since the initial settlement in 1998, the biggest drop in smoking occurred in California, where instead of emphasizing health hazards, the state government tried to make smoking look "uncool", comparing it to breathing farts, and pointing out that it can cause impotence. Today, the smoking rate in California is 15%, compared to 30% in Kentucky, and 21% nationally.
Putting things in financial terms is also important when deciding how to allocate limited resources. As a society should we invest more in anti-smoking ads, or highway guardrails? The only way to make rational decisions is to look at the cost and the quality-life-years added. We currently make some poor decisions, such as spending billions on extending the lives of geriatric patients for a few more miserable months, when that money would be far better spent on something like prenatal nutrition.
For smokers, TFS is only giving one side of the financial ledger. Sure, productivity is lost when someone gets lung cancer in the prime of their life. But on the other side of the ledger, we save a fortune on Social Security and Medicare payments when elderly smokers die years earlier. It isn't clear that smoking is a net loss to society.
It doesn't really even confirm that Musk knows c++ only that it is used at his company.

Theyâ(TM)ve been regularly in stock at my local Micro Center for months.
Micro Center's website listed them as "out of stock" for at least the last 4 months. They are currently not listed at all. So apparently they no longer carry them, or at least are no longer taking new orders.
I buy one almost every trip.
A Zero? Without buying a $30 "development kit" that includes a $5 Pi? I don't think so.
You could do all that by setting up a bunch of VMs on a shared memory machine.
That will give you different latencies and different bottlenecks. The point of this system is not to crunch data, but to serve as a testbed for parallel software development. It is possible that they also use VMs, but that would be in addition to this cluster rather than a replacement.
Then politicians can campaign against the evil ISP and one thing they can campaign on and deliver is broadband without the bullshit.
Some politicians have tried that, including Hillary Clinton. In Nov 2016, they mostly lost, although mostly for other reasons. This is not a winning electoral issue. The people that care about this are too sparse and diffuse to matter.
Democrat politicians support NN because get donations from content creators. Republican politicians oppose it because they get donations from telecoms. So NN will live or die depending on whether Ds or Rs win or lose on other issues.
With Trump in the Whitehouse, NN is dead for now. If the Democrats win in 2020, it may come roaring back.
That puts the number of strikes about 2 orders of magnitude higher than you calculate.
Strikes in the world are about two orders of magnitude greater than strikes in America because the surface area of the world is about two orders of magnitude greater than the surface area of America.
If this isn't a lack of confidence vote on the state of fiat currency,
Fiat currencies are doing just fine. Inflation for the US dollar is at 2%. The Euro is at 1.5%. The Yen is at 0.7%. It took years of QE to get inflation up to even those levels. That doesn't indicate any lack of confidence.
Yes, very much so. She is half Asian and half white, with all the best features of each. I say this objectively, because I can see that plenty of guys think she is hot. I like walking about 20 paces behind her at the mall so I can watch them rubberneck as she passes by. I especially like it when they crash into a kiosk or trip over a bench.

The catch is they only weigh 2 nanograms. Silly "scientists".
Indeed. "Lifting capacity as a multiple of weight" is a meaningless metric. It is trivial to achieve just by using a tiny displacement.
you won't have enough to even divide up.
Bitcoins can be divided. So as the value continues to increase, we can use bit-dimes, bit-pennies, and even smaller units. It will be like the

We can't simply say "no, fuck you".
Actually, we can. It is called "voting in the primaries".
the activism from the bench will be decidedly pro-business
This is likely true, but NN is neither pro-business nor anti-business. It is just favoring one group of businesses over another.

Many people assume that getting a warrant is an undue burden. Most jurisdictions have judges available or on-call 24/7, and a judge can review and issue a warrant in a few minutes if it is clearly justified.
And phone companies are often subsidized by government, which means they are always willing to part with it, no matter how legally irrelevant.
Many phone companies have a written policy of releasing customer data only when legally compelled to do so.

Agreed, since probably the late 60's you'd have to have lived under a rock your whole life not to know smoking is bad, very bad.
Most people start smoking when they are still minors, and don't have the maturity to disregard peer pressure and make good long term decisions.
Many tobacco ads specifically targeted young people.
Putting things in financial terms is also important when deciding how to allocate limited resources. As a society should we invest more in anti-smoking ads, or highway guardrails? The only way to make rational decisions is to look at the cost and the quality-life-years added.

When a student from ITT or DeVry drops out and and defaults on his government guaranteed student loan, who do you think pays the lender?
Is your daughter hot?
Yes, very much so. She is half Asian and half white, with all the best features of each. I say this objectively, because I can see that plenty of guys think she is hot.
